Playing Old Apple Games on the PC: Yes, it's Possible

I don't know if you were a big gamer back in the 80s, but one of the best games of all time was BOLO built for the Apple II platform. In case you don't know, it's a shootout type game. You're a ship and you're trying to kill the alien invaders in a maze. By following certain visual cues, you can locate the ship. Once you've navigated to the location of the ship, avoid being hit by these alien invaders and shoot for the core. After you've killed all six ships in a maze, the level starts over again but your score remains. You can change the density of the maze (more walls, making it easier for your spaceship to crash) and there are nine levels to choose from (the easiest has slow alien invaders that don't really know the difference between you and another alien, but the hardest has smart alien invaders who travel super fast and can track you down even if you're going at the fastest speed). A screenshot of the game is here.

In any event, I did some crazy research to find the game and finally figured it out. This works for all flavors of Windows (XP, 2000, and I assume Vista). Here's what you need to relive the old apple days.

jbennet, it's hard to say if the copyrights from computer software from 1984 are still enforced. However, you have a point. I'll try to find out with some legal counsel. It's an interesting dilemma, especially if the hardware is unavailable at the present (which oldschool Apples largely are).
